On a property that was grandfathered to build on a tiny waterfront lot, the owner was allowed by the local zoning department to fill in a low wetland where his well (white pipe) and dock electric service (right center of photo) were located. As this photo documents, this low area was frequently flooded.

Conceptual diagram illustrating relative seal-level rise based on global global sea levels and land subsistence; with examples from Key West, Florida and Galveston, Texas.
Relative Sea-level Rise
Conceptual diagram illustrating thermal expansion of the ocean in relation to climate change.
Experiment for Thermal Expansion
Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of sea-level rise and storm surges on barrier islands. When sea-level rise combines with strong storms, barrier islands experience high storm surges, which increases the effects of flooding and erosion.
Sea-level Rise and Storm Surges on Barrier Islands
Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of climate change on polar ice. There are two kinds of polar ice - ice that floats on the sea (sea ice) or ice that sits on land (land ice). The experiment demonstrates that sea ice does not impact sea-level rise when it melts, but land ice does add to sea-level rise when it melts into the ocean.
